My bed had been squeaking every time I moved on my side and I’d wake my partner up every time I’d get up and get back into bed.

So today I took off the mattress and fastened all the screws and those round ikea things all their stuff has. It’s now much better but the backboard still makes a small sound but I can’t figure out where it’s coming from.

    I once unscrewed all fasteners on my bed and rescrewed then with small pieces of cloth or paper, whatever fit better.

    No squeaking since. Very relaxing.

      That is a great idea! Next time I have a burst of bed fixing energy I’ll give that a go!

        you can get fiber washers at your local home improvement center. If you’re routinely stressing the joints on the bedframe, the fiber washers last a lot longer than paper.
